Greetings from Missouri!
(Clockwise, from top, left) Hey horse! Can't you read? Try towing this guy from his spot in St. Louis. ::: Now, that's art! Notice the subtle use of the cylinder against the harsh, caged structure in my new friend, Carl's field. ::: The St. Louis Arch, as seen through my windshield. ::: When in Cuba, Missouri, stay at the Wagon Wheel Motel, right on 66. Pauline keeps a beautiful, tidy place, and at $15/night, it's cheaper than a campground! ::: Hound dogs at a hunt club near St. Louis. ::: Bass Pro Shops, in Springfield, the state's number one tourist attraction! I get a chuckle out of all the people bringing video cameras into this store. ::: This new state park is where Time's Beach used to be, until they sprayed dioxin on the dirt roads, to keep the dust down - I guess it did the job.

Missouri sure has some beautiful countryside, and I didn't even get up into the Ozarks. I found the people to be friendly, once you got to know them, but very cautious at first - like the woman who insisted on seeing my driver's license before letting me use her vacant lot. I had a harder time finding camping spots here than in any other state, but I met many people whom I liked.
